The Natural World Gallery

Set out to find sweeping desert solitude, climb craggy Andean summits or wander the sacred forests of poet Pablo Neruda. Surf, paddle or sail the endless coast. Explore the mysteries of Easter Island, stargaze, soak in hot springs or watch glaciers calve. In Chile, all roads lead to nature.
